Dear Patrick, I can't help but think that you might be rushing into this. How about giving Sam five more rides. Now I know you are a clever guy, with lots of miles in your legs, but it is my feeble opinion that you might need to give it a bit more of a go.
It is a great bike. Throw a set of your favorite wheels on it and give it a go- just one for the kipper. (and take the damn fenders off, you live in albar-turkey desert) ;-) If it was a 54 or so I'd buy it for a friend.
